  • Patent number: 6126686
    Abstract: A method for preparing vascular valves from submucosal tissue is described. Both bicuspid and tricuspid valve constructs are described. The bicuspid constructs can be formed with or without a supporting stent. The tricuspid constructs are formed by fixing submucosal tissue to a supporting stent, folding the submucosal tissue, and forming the valve commissures from the folded submucosal tissue by cutting along the folds. The artificial vascular valves are useful for replacing damaged or diseased valves of a warm-blooded vertebrate.

  • Patent number: 5573784
    Abstract: Surgical repair of diseased or damaged endogenous connective tissue can be accomplished using a tissue graft formed from a delaminated segment of intestinal tissue. The tissue graft comprises the intestinal tunica submucosa delaminated from both the tunica muscularis and at least the luminal portion of the tunica mucosa. The graft can be conditioned by stretching and formed as a multilayer composition for high tensile strength and resistance to tearing at its points of attachment to existing physiological structures.

  • Patent number: 5312436
    Abstract: A suture for use in MIS surgery and tying internally in a body cavity using graspers extending through trocars in the body wall, the suture comprising a length of suture material suitable for fastening body tissue within the body cavity, the length having opposite end portions, and gripping means attached to at least one of the end portions. The gripping means, which may be formed and shaped to facilitate engagement and movement by graspers, may be a soft, sponge-like body attached to the length end or an elongated body in the shape of a paddle attached to the length end for use by a grasper in the movement of a body organ.
